[edit] Bumper-surfing
I removed the following from Sports:
- A favourite pastime in winter among boys is pogeying, or bumper-surfing behind cars when conditions permit.
I'm sure this happens, but I'm also sure it is not the favourite pastime. -- Egil 09:25, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] The city's names
"Trong-jæm"?! Born and raised in this town, I must say that I have never heard anyone pronounce the name with a g in it? What is the background for this entry? --Njård 07:46, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry buddy - that was my measly attempt at rendering the nasal-like pronunciation in a half-English, half-Norwegian, non-IPA transliteration. Change it into something more realistic if you want and can. ;J //Big Adamsky 08:11, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

- Yes, suspected something like that..;) Will a forreigner with no knowledge of the dialect read it with a "silent g"? If so I believe it can be left as it is for now. Can't think of any english words with similar pronununciation..--Njård 08:39, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sintef and more about economy
Sintef, being the largest research establishment in Norway, deserves a mention in the article IMHO. And what about the local enonomy? Google recently established themselves in Trondheim, making this one of the few (only?) European city with all the three leading search engine companies represented.
